I don’t know. I run a Nextcloud instance for myself and I let my gf tag along. Why do you think people shouldn’t help their families out?

Frankly in my opinion, bios should only be updatable from the bios itself. No matter which os we talk about, it can always get in the way.

I don’t think it’s very feature-rich, but I do use Open Tracks. For tracking my running it works just fine.

Wait so according to the article, someone prayed to him while in hospital and got healed? Is that all it takes to become a Saint? I wonder: if I ever get into a hospital I should pray to say Genghis Khan just to troll the Church.

Being able to protest the government you don’t like is also how democracy works. Unless you do any disturbance you’re perfectly allowed to express your opinion even if in the minority.

I get from this that whoever made this meme doesn’t like foss, but I don’t get what is it trying to say. That foss is just a way for big tech to have software for free and that it’s production is chaotic?

As an introvert with pretty bad social anxiety, I have to say I’m glad I am not extraverted.

So if I understand it correctly, with this scheme the traffic between my computer and the DNS server is encrypted and so my internet provider won’t know which websites I’m visiting?

Can’t the hacker though spoof some fake websites and trick you into giving your information? If they control the WiFi they control the DNS don’t they?

So when does a farm go from personal to private property? Is it the moment you rent it or employ other people on it?

As far as I know the fees are determined by the market, the only thing that decreases is the reward for finding a block. I believe the reasoning about it is to have a limited amount of bitcoins in circulation. If there was no cap on supply then the value of Bitcoin would crumble as essentially in the long term the miners could “print” or “mine” infinitely many of it.

Miners are still though incentivized to keep the security of the network as long as there is demand for transaction. Everytime you put out a transaction on the blockchain you pay a small fee to the miners. The higher the fee the shorter you will have to wait for the bitcoins to be transferred as more miners will be incentivized to put your transaction on the blockchain while mining.

So the reasoning about the whole system is: make at first Bitcoin scarce to encourage mining and as more and more people own the cryptocurrency the more mining will shift from creating Bitcoins out of nowhere to getting money from the transaction fees. At least that’s how I understand it.

To me stuffed animal sounds like a dead trophy or something.

I don’t think I’d be willing to risk messing with a laptop’s firmware just to get a different logo, but I’m happy it worked for you. Congratulations.

Why do people feel the need these days to slap blockchain onto everything?

Interesting. It makes me curious, was there no specialization at all then? If male and female humans always participated in all activities equally, wouldn’t they end up evolving very similar traits?

Maybe it’s a bit of a lazy explanation, but the hunting labor division sort of made sense to me, since throwing say a spear requires upper body strength, which is higher in males on average.

Who needs to imprison people when you have the social credit score system to keep them in check.

I’d say I’m economic center left and socially extremely liberal.

I Iike maximum personal freedom. For example: I’m fine with legalizing , taxing and regulating all drugs including things like heroin: with proper labels and forbidden to sell to children. For the record I personally would never put drugs into my own body, but people should have the freedom to choose if they wish to do so.

I want a well regulated capitalism with strong employees and consumer protections. I am somewhat undecided when it comes to things like worker coops and other forms of workplace democracy, but I think I’d lean towards a somewhat mixt system. Something akin to 50% of board members in a private company elected by employees and 50% by shareholders: that way there are still some incentives to invest, but also some checks and balances by people who actually work in the company and who thus wouldn’t want to vote against their own interests.

And finally strong social safety nets with public housing for all low income people. Can be even some Soviet style brutalist architecture apartments, as long as it can house everyone and is reasonably well maintained.

Gentoo on my desktop and Mint on my work laptop. At work I just need everything to work, so I don’t want to have to deal with some build related issues.

I normally use web browser too, but bank imposes 2 factor authentication via their app for sign ins.
